Did you happen to see the BG News yesterday?
Was it difficult to find?
Our editorial staff received word that our labeled stands — filled with the daily newspaper — were instead filled with a different publication.
The Renegade Review, an independent conservative monthly, was found in BG News-labeled stands throughout campus.
Those are our stands. We pay for them, and consequently our advertisers pay for them.
If our newspapers were removed in bulk by Renegade Review staff and replaced with their publication, that is not only illegal, but downright immature.
We received phone calls saying that two individuals were doing such an action, but we cannot confirm any truth to them.
Renegade Review staff told us that they placed copies of their publication on our stands but did not replace the BG News with them.
We hope not.
The BG News is put out five times a week by a dedicated, hard working staff. Tuesday’s edition contained important information regarding the election. The latest Renegade Review did not.
We hope the Renegade Review can find a way to fund their own distribution stands.
